Ceiling Fan Balancing

I recently purchased and installed two Hunter SeaAir ceiling fans.
Both have considerable wobble at high speed. I tried using weights as
described in the instructions to no avail. I removed the blades and
weighed them on a postage scale. They were the same, 312 g. I measured
the angle of the blade brackets and found one a little higher and one a
little lowqer than the other three. I adjusted so all are equal and
reinstalled them. The blades still wobble. What can I do?

is it a 4 blade? if so get used to the wobble.
5 blade take it back hunters have always worked pretty good for me, not
always wobble free but nothing that bad yet.
perhaps you just got a couple bad ones,or a bad style

Turn the fan on high and let the outer edge of the fan blades hit a
crayon.
Stop the fan and find the blade with the most crayon on it and put
your weights on the opposite blade.
Do it again, and again and again moving the weights in and out on the
opposite blade.
.

That's a good answer. Also, try mounting the weights on the body of the fan
first, since you can find a mid point that the baldes don't cover. I had a
terrible wobble on mine, and found after a lot of work it was just off
centre of between two blades at the body...
